What can I say, it's been a great two years living at one of the units that Mahara from community realty manages. She's been quick to respond to any service requests or issues and resolved them quickly. I feel confident in recommending a living space rented by community realty and managed by Mahara. She is professional and easy to work with. :) read more

This company collected a lot of my personal information to clarify questions they had. They waited for my desired move in date to inform me that the owner wants a "stronger applicant." My current landlord was never contacted nor was my current employer. Communication could've been better. I also believe the staff choose who they want based off personal preference. Prior to applying to this unit, my husband inquired about viewing another rental on their site. The man who answered said the unit was already rented to a "recently approved" applicant BUT that unit is still vacant. Lastly, the rentals on their website are listed at a cheaper rate in Spanish on other sites by their agents. read more

Community Realty Property Management - Communication over text - Property Management Near Me - Oakland, California

This will be my second time, renting a property through Community Realty. The process is quick and they keep you in aware and informed of each step in the process. This time around, I worked with Lamar Johnson. Lamar was so efficient I was shocked because I completed my application at 8:20 PM and by 8:40 PM, my credit was ran and receiving a text message informing me of the next steps in the process. Lamar worked on my application remotely was always was available for any questions. Maherah this was actually my second time working with her each time was great working with her. She was the person that showed me the property and walk me through signing my lease. This is a great property management company and I wish I would have never had left the first time, but I'm back and happy about it. read more

I was apprehensive about renting my childhood home but Claudia Torres did an outstanding job at easing my fears and communicating with me through the process. The rental posting exceeded my expectations and Claudia found exactly the tenants I was looking for. I have worked with Maria Fernandez for many years; she is a hard worker and on top of her stuff. I highly recommend Community Realty Property Management! read more

We rented a property recently. The team was outstanding, they were fast to respond, professional, and very nice. They scheduled viewing right away and followed through the whole process with outstanding communication. I definitely recommend Community Realty in particular Claudia Torres and Rajen Nath were amazing. read more

When we found ourselves in a very difficult situation with our house while being out of state, Claudia Torres helped get our property rented to reliable tenants so we could get on with our lives. Thanks very much, Claudia! read more

Been with CRPM for 10+ years. I really so appreciate the patience and compassion shown by Maherah. Recently I had to find another Apartment to rent due to financial constraints and she did not give up until I found a place that worked best for me. When I first moved to one of their properties I was a teenager with my mom so this was my first time getting a place on my own. I had some difficulties but she was helpful and understanding with every step of the process. No matter the situation you're in good hands with CRPM. read more

Edgar and Jason have both made things super smooth in the process for my family to move in to our new place. We are extremely blessed to have came across them and definitely recommend them! My husband and I were surprised on how fast they moved the application process. We upgraded to a 3 bedroom due to our kids outgrowing our 2 bedroom apartment and the location of the new apartment was perfect for us because of their new schools. We also couldn't pass up on the price it was listed for so. Thanks again guys! read more

I can't wait to write a review and tell all my friends about the amazing work Claudia did. My family and I appreciated all the communication that we received. It's unfortunate that now my family might end up homeless, but Claudia was amazing. She made me feel like family when she told me about her travels while my family fate lied in her hands. I'm so happy that she took some time for herself. My family also took some time to relax, and we are humbled by the opportunity to be homeless. It really puts things in perspective. But on a real note, please DO NOT do business with this Company. Having to constantly call and leave messages and try my best to apply for a property just to be declined 2 days later and not even a PHONE CALL, she sent a text message and not even from her, from a robot saying sorry application denied but check out other properties..let us know instead of calling us and explaining the situation and helping us with other showings and properties. Claudia was awful. Not even her assistant Angelica could help us one bit she just showed us the property and was very awkward at that...save your application fee and go with others that know what Customer Service is. Awful read more

María Fernández was recommended to us by a family friend. She knows English and Spanish so we immediately called her. The first time we called her we explained our desires and budget when purchasing our home. She started working with us right away and in a couple of days we found a lot of houses. Maria answered all of our questions and we were able to get into contract within couple of weeks.We are so glad we chose to work with her in purchasing our new home. She is very friendly and efficient. We will definitely recommend her to others. read more

Jason was amazing!!! He was honest, upfront and very personable about the leasing process. He answered all of my questions professionally and confidently. He also made me aware of all the other services they provide which he will be my go to person for when I'm ready to purchase a home. read more

I would definitely recommend this business, the company cares about their properties. I contacted their office and, Maherah walked me through the process effortlessly. She answered everything question and concerns that I had. It was a pleasure to do business with her. All the information was explained and her awareness was very much appreciated. Now I understand the great reviews everyone has the same positive feedback. Thanks Maherah for your services, you are very much appreciated. They value your business very professional and much needed. read more

Applied for an apartment and asked to tour the unit multiple times and never heard back from them. Would not recommend working with this business unless you like wasting your time and money read more

Unreasonable, insensitive, dishonest and disrespectful!! After being a tenant of a subpar property in Richmond for years, my sons father unexpectedly passed away in the home. His brother and I informed property management of his passing the day of (while we waited for the body to be removed). The VERY NEXT DAY, there was a notice posted on the door: "NOTICE OF BELIEF OF ABANDONMENT" addressed to my deceased loved one, myself, and my brother in law. The 2 of us remained on the lease, although property management was informed years prior that we had moved out of the property.. but, whatever. If we are going to be held financially responsible for the property since the active tenant was deceased, we should retain access to vacate the house, right?! Apparently not. The same day they posted the "Abandonment" notice, they changed the locks. We are now being charged for every day that it takes us to vacate a house we don't have access to. We are at the mercy of their office hours and availability to give us access to the property. But we remain on the lease!! Additionally, while he was living in the home and struggling to pay the outrageous rent amount that was raised to just under $3000 per month, several essential things were not in working condition. The oven and heater did not work. There were several plumbing issues, the storage shed in the back was caving in from water damage. The fences were falling over. There was a rodent issue under the house, and they were coming in the house through the vent for the dryer that should have been sealed off when not in use with an appliance. There were no screens on the windows, which caused a near strong armed robbery when an armed man attempted to come through the window last year. Granted, my sons father was not a complainer. But he did inform them of several of these issues and they were either never fixed, or half-a** repaired where the problem would persist again shortly after. Considering CRPM was so quick to come and post an abandonment notice and change the locks, you would think they would have made AT LEAST annual check ins to make sure the property was in working order. But instead, this man lived his last days in a sh*t hole that he struggled trying to pay for during the pandemic, and neglected his health for fear of not being able to afford to keep a roof over his head, and be treated for whatever ailments he suffered from. It is obviously too late to fix his point of view for what was more important. But it's very unfortunate, and a huge slap in the face to be locked out of a property that we are clearly still going to be financially responsible for. And to be charged DAILY for items remaining in the home that I can't get into. And in case it wasn't already clear, they knew the home wasn't abandoned since they spoke to us less than 24 hours before they posted the "Belief of abandonment". This company is awful. Very ghetto. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Save yourself and your loved ones, and cross CRPM properties off your list. read more

i have been with CRPM since 2013.. i want to acknowledge Jason for always being on top and quick to reply to all my messages or request .. he is the best along with Pedro quick to call and set up a time to come by. They both are always so pleasant and professional i am glad that they are with the company.. I am a happy tenant, me and my husband, and look forward to always dealing with them. They are both Awesome!!! and make our relationship with the property management a very pleasant one. you guys Rock!! Thanks for all you do. Gwen Pope read more

Highly grateful for all the major help she's done then and now. read more

STAY CLEAR!!! I was in search of a Rental property close to my job so that I would not have to commute too far and ect... I found the property at 22 1st street in Richmond available. It seemed nice, spacious and had a garage. I contacted Community Realty and they give me the number of the area manager Diego. Trying to get a hold of him was a job in its self. I contacted him for almost 5 days straight, left voicemails and even had the realty company email him all to no avail. Finally I call today (September 18th) and he answers and says sorry I rented it last night and hangs up. If this is a direct example of how this company operates I would be careful. This interaction has taught me alot. But watch out for Diego and his lack of organization skills (510) 717-0905 read more

I am writing an updated review of my whole experience with my move in. I still support my previous review of Jason Peceny, who is awesome, as is Pedro, a company repair person, who has been to my house almost every week (multiple times) for the entire 9 weeks we've lived at our new house. Both are complete professionals and the only people I'm currently comfortable with that work at the company. They are the only reason I'm even giving any stars. I love the layout of the house, so I'd like to stay living here, but I have to air some grievances and make sure people know what they're getting into. In summary, we waited a month to move into the house while they renovated because the last tenant messed the house up quite a bit. Upon move in we were told everything was "move in" ready, and everything looked decent during the walk through so we signed the document stating so. MISTAKE. A small sampling of the problems we've had; oven needed to be replaced (after being told it was fine), water heater having parts literally not attached to it and not heating our water, dishwasher flooding the entire kitchen (its still not working and keeps flooding despite repairs), disposal not working properly, shower leaking about a gallon a day( because a part was broken...which also lead to the shower not ever being hot which we were just going to accept), central heat not working (FOR 9 WEEKS?!), apparently animals ate through the ducts for the heat too (??!!), windows falling off track, previous tenant cutting wires so no internet for weeks, no functioning plumbing working and having to have laterals replaced (i.e. toilet not flushing, sink backing up, shower not draining), gaps in the front door that I could put my entire finger through (weather strip had to be added), windows have such a draft I have to saran wrap them to keep the heat in, fence falling apart (which I was told to just handle myself), door to hose access is nailed to the deck (which i guess i have to handle myself too). As far as I know the person managing the renovation, who I believe is Tyler, paid no attention and didn't fully test the functionality of the house before letting us move in. Additionally all contractors and repair people have been running my heat, water, and electricity constantly in order to diagnose, test, and fix the problems. Additionally, living off of space heaters because we had no heat (the house was consistently 50 degrees if we turned off the space heaters). This has caused my bills to sky rocket, and there is almost no chance of reimbursement. While I love the space, this whole move has been kind of a nightmare. I've had to leave early from work and step out of meetings the entire time. All that just to deal with issues that were no fault of my own, and the company should have had handled in advance. My advice would be to double check all functionality and not trust what you're being told. While the properties they manage are great, if you don't have a flexible work schedule like I do, you might get really screwed. If you find yourself in the same situation, call or email Jason and Pedro. They're the ones who will support you and make sure to get sh*t done. read more

Thank you Tyler for getting the repairs done on the same day I text you. I understand it's not always possible for same day service but it's very much appreciated. We love our new home. read more

It was a pleasure working with Community Fund LLC. Jason took great care of us and always sent maintenance within 24 hours. He was incredibly straightforward and explained everything to us so there were no surprises. We ended up having to move out early because my wife got a new job in South City and Jason and Jackie worked hard to lease up our space and get us off the lease as soon as possible so we could save money. We're forever grateful for their help and hope to work with them again. read more

I had a great experience trying to rent one of their properties in such a short amount of time! When I first went to pick up and drop off the keys to look at the property Mario helped me since I missed Maherah, but she followed up with a text! As I went through the process, she answered my questions quickly and was always willing to help me however she could. She was also very commutative and kept me updated with anything I needed to know along the process. read more

Jennifer Choi was so nice and easy to work with. I was able to see the property within hours of contacting her. The whole staff was amazing and got me approved all within the same week!! I will definitely be working with them again!!! read more

We had the best experience with this property management. They were very professional and courteous. When we set appointments, the property management followed up with us, Thank you Tyler and Jason, read more

I have been living in my unit for almost 10 years. When community Realty took over our property management Martha was my first contact. She has always been prompt with responses as well as her checking up to make sure that all maintenance request has been done. I cant speak for everyone in this office but I can personally say that I appreciate the service that Martha provides to the tenants. If you have a issue Martha doesn't hesitate to get things done. She will not make promises that she can't keep and she will not ignore your calls. If you want fast responses and a person that considers not only your time but understand your needs call Martha. If I could give her 10 stars I would. Thank you Martha! read more

It's a typical management company in that its hard to contact maintenance or get things processed. They seem a little disorganized or maybe over capacity in workload. However, Margie was our agent and she is PHENOMENAL. She responds quickly and finds an answer if she doesn't have it on hand. She's busy but she knows clients come back when they're treated well. She goes above and beyond in terms of helpfulness. So far, we're having a good experience here. They're not worse or better than anyone else you'll lease from around here. Try to get Margie. read more

If you're thinking to rent or buy a house Maherah is so far the best choice you can make. All they're a team very friendly and reliables people ever. Nonbody can make you feel more better as them do. Thanks guys you're doing very well! read more

Rajan is the worse. He never calls back and has responds by text if you call him that he can't talk. He then begins to text and never has answers when repairs will take place. When repairs are needed it takes forever to get things repaired. We had three different people come to repair the garbage disposal that was not working, the first person replaced it and still would not come on, the 2nd person found out it was a electrician problem but could not fix and the 3rd person replaced the electricial switch which was the problem all the time. When we had our one year inspection we received a $100 a month increase in rent. He inspected the property and was impressed with the way we kept the property. During the inspection we in formed him that the fence was rotting out and needed to be replaced or repaired. The fence boards staring falling down and created a hole in March and we again inquired when the fence would be fixed and he never responded. This weekend the house was broken in through someone coming through the hole in the fence and coming through the window and stealing a lot of personal problems. He sent the same handyman that could not fix the garage disposal to nail the broken rotten boards back up on the weak fence and looks like the wind can blow it down now. This is terrible and he still does not have a date or resolution to fix the fence. I would not recommend this slum lord to anyone. read more
